Top 6 Vegan Restaurants to Visit in Porto

Add these Vegan Restaurants to Your Porto Itinerary

Outside of Porto’s main tourist haunts is this charming café. If you’re craving a nourishing, home-cooked meal, O Macrobiotico is the place to go. This peaceful spot follows a macrobiotic philosophy, serving balanced dishes made from organic and local ingredients. Expect soups, salads, and hearty mains that change daily — all bursting with wholesome flavor. I really liked that there was a set menu, so there was no indecision but for some people the lack of choice might be a bummer. If you’re one of those, I’d say, still give it a try!

It’s the kind of spot that feels like a reset for both body and mind, offering simple, thoughtful food in a warm, welcoming space.

Before I even got to my seat, I was greeted with a giant sign proclaiming, “Be kind to every kind.” Just from that, I knew this would be a fabulous spot. This fully plant-based restaurant re-imagines comfort food favorites like tacos, burgers, and even the beloved Portuguese francesinha — complete with a vegan “egg” on top.

We ended our Portugal vegan tour with a fabulous farewell dinner at this chic spot. If you’re looking for somewhere a little special, this is the place to go. This beautifully designed restaurant blends contemporary style with plant-based innovation, offering creative interpretations of Portuguese and international cuisine. Dishes are artfully plated — think tofu Wellington or hearty toffish with crispy potatoes— and paired with an extensive wine list. The menu changes seasonally in order to highlight the flavors of local produce which I think makes your meal even more special.

Locals shared with me that this spot usually has a delicious lunch buffet with tasty items like spinach and mushroom lasagna, moussaka, or carrot and walnut meatballs but when I visited, there was no buffet to be found. It’s possible that it’s possible that they’re changing things up, but it’s a good thing to know so you’re not surprised.  

Instead of the buffet, we were greeted with a standard menu that had a mix of globally inspired options. It seems that the real stars on the menu on their house-made burgers and sandwiches. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, making it a great midday stop between sightseeing adventures.

Another fabulous spot outside of the regular tourist wanderings — with this list, you’ll see all of Porto! My Green Pastry is the definition of a hidden gem. This cozy café specializes in plant-based pastries, cakes, and brunch dishes made with organic, seasonal ingredients — many of them gluten-free (some are sugar-free too).
